That's a good looking es with the SEVAS wheels, which I knew it would be. We based the specifications of your wheels on the avalon project we did with 19x8.5 with a 35 offset. These specs makes a large lip on FWD vehicles, to give it that JDM look.
Another custom VIP setup from D2autosport for a close budget.

keep the wheels... roll the fenders, give it some camber... or get some tires that arent as wide.

It WILL work

Where can u get camber kits? I asked a local auto parts shop and said camber kits are only used with lowering springs or coilovers. Any feedback? I still get some rubbin.

I'm not really sure but i think this is what he was referring to:

I think cambers kits are used to re-store your wheel camber back to factory settings. When you lower your car using lowering springs or coilovers, your camber changes to negative.
But in your case, I think you need to change camber to negative so the wheels cave in and won't rub..
